Pleeeease put me out of my misery. There's a song I hear the odd time over the last few years and I can never identify it. I heard it a few weeks ago and remembered some lyrics but have now forgotten them. I've been googling for hours as it's driving me crazy.
It's kind of a dance song but slightly chilled out with a repetitive bass beat, and a female singer quietly singing line after line in the same tune. I can't remember the chorus, all I can remember is the one line from one of the verses 'our house is not a home' but searches online keep giving me songs about that topic. This song is kind of negative, like she's complaining about something. She is singing, but almost talking, if you know what I mean. Please help, I'm so frustrated, I've been trying to work this out for about 3 years, I think!

Sounds like something Massiv Attack would create?

See if you can find it in this lot:

Long shot but Is it The Weekend, 28. He sounds like a girl on this song.

I'm dying to know what it is now!

Mouseville65 · 09/06/2018 16:10

Monny1 · 09/06/2018 16:11

I can only think of, Get here by Oleta Adams

Sisterlove · 09/06/2018 16:13

Think I can help you. Is it a song called 'unappreciated' by Cherish,

Lazypoolday · 09/06/2018 16:13

Sounds a bit like this maybe..Prayer in C

Jaimx86 · 09/06/2018 16:14

Roughly when do you think it came out? 2013, or is that when you heard it?

Second attempt

OuchLegoHurts · 09/06/2018 16:18

OMG Lazypoolday YOU DID IT!!!!

Thank you sooooooo much! And I've just looked at the lyrics and that "house is not a home" is not even in it Blush I'm so sorry for leading you all down the wring path...but thank you so so much!

Ps Lazypoolday how the hell did you get it?!

Prayer in C by Lilly Wood and The Prick?

Whocansay · 09/06/2018 16:19

Home - Three Days Grace?

MiniJellyBeans · 09/06/2018 16:19

Your description reminds me of Kate Nash - Foundations. But it doesn't contain that exact lyric.

isshoes · 09/06/2018 16:19

Cross-post!

Bumblebee2302 · 09/06/2018 16:20

Never would have got that!

Ps Lazypoolday how the hell did you get it?!

Your description of the singing and beat just rang a bell. Even though that line isn't actually in it, thats the general gist of the song. I didn't know the name of it either, I had to think of some of the other lyrics and find it that way!

Sisterlove · 09/06/2018 16:26

I've just looked at the lyrics and that "house is not a home" is not even in it

Where did you get the lyrics from? I asked my DH and the song he found had the house is not a home line and she was feeling unappreciated too. Good song discovery. Smile

Lovely song - I prefer this live version, to be picky!

I had forgotten about that song! Really liked it

sidesplittinglol · 09/06/2018 17:15

Glad you've found the song! There's an app I use to identify songs - it's called Shazam. It's really good x

Jaimx86 · 09/06/2018 17:23

LOVE this song! Glad you found it.
